Never heard of them before, but at least from the photos looks good. Wonder if they would be willing to do CF vented fenders too so that fitment would be better (as opposed to using Anderson Composite's CF vented fenders).

Interesting.
I love the look of my Ikon (I think) GT350 hood. Most accurate replica of the GT350 hood I've seen.
My only drawback is the "lightweight steel" is so freaking heavy!
The Roush hood struts can barely keep it open.

This looks pretty close to a GT350 hood.
It's probably a lot lighter.

ive honestly considered the RK Motorsports one myself. its fiberglass and looks pretty accurate, just haven't really heard of the company

Looks like a nice CF piece. I'm having an aluminium version installed at the moment. I'll post pics when I get the car back from the bodyshop

Type, 550, where'd you find a aluminum GT350 replica hood?

Thanks!
I guess lightness comes at a price!

Yep, the steel version of this hood was approx $700 cheaper, but also heavier than the OEM hood, so I decided to just spend a little more and get the lighter alum version.

Hoping to get the car back today, so I will post pics soon

Are those prices in AUD or USD??? If its $2,195AUD that's $1,860USD - still on the high side. Can can carbon fiber hoods (lighter and stronger still) for less. I'm assuming this is manufactured in China or Australia but could be wrong.

Yep, AUD prices. Pretty sure it's a Chinese made replica.

The carbon fiber version of the GT350 hood is around $2700 AUD I believe :doh:

Here it is on my car anyway. Came with OEM style insulation, which was good.

Very nice.
Maybe down the road I'd switch to the aluminum one.

Ive always wondered... there seems to be cutouts for the vents that come on the gt on the underside, how dificult would it be to add them??

I just ordered a GT350 style aluminum hood off of ebay for $800 shipped. It looks very similar to the IKON design but only weighs 23lbs. I'll let y'all know the quality. I liked the IKON hood, but didn't want the weight.
